Ah, Venice. I fell in love the first time and my second visit to this glorious city was no different.

This visit was just a day trip, but it was one of the best days of the trip. Prior to leaving, Giulia's father gave me a beautiful old map of Venice. It turns out to have been his first map of the city. Luckily the city remains completely unchanged in those forty years so the map was still very handy (right now I am keeping it safe and sound, to one day be framed and hung up on my wall). Giulia and I took the train in to the city (20 minute ride, it is amazing how close Giulia lives to it!). I think that my camera was out on this day more than any other day for the whole trip, so expect more photographs soon!
